Investigators: National interview of father facing charges ‘one-sided’

WEST OLIVE, Mich. (WOOD) — Investigators are reacting after a West Michigan man, who’s accused of manslaughter, called the charges against him “unfair” on national television.

Grand Rapids Community College professor Timothy Koets was charged in October after police say his son, Sam Koets, 16, drowned in the family’s pool after he was left unattended in March 2019.

The 16-year-old had severe autism and was said to have the cognitive abilities of a two-year-old. 

Koets spoke to “Inside Edition” about the case in an exclusive interview Tuesday night.
